pH is a measure of how acidic a water-based solution is. Since our bodies are mostly water, pH can be used to describe how much acid is in the fluids in our bodies. Water has a pH of 7.0. pHs lower than 7 are acidic; pHs above 7 are basic, or alkaline.
Our bodies maintain our blood at a pH of about 7.4. The kidneys tightly regulate this pH balance by continuously filtering the acids and bases in the blood. The kidneys excrete just the right amount of acid or base in the urine to keep the system in pH balance.
Certain other body fluids are highly acidic (like stomach acid) or basic (enzyme-rich fluids in the pancreas). These fluids are kept tightly walled off from the blood and body tissues, where they could cause damage if released inappropriately.
-Matthew Hoffman, MD, Internal Medicine, Emory University
It’s time to start looking at life with the ideology of whether it’s acid or alkaline, not good or bad. – Sevan Bomar, Innerstanding
With that said, let’s practice a yoga flow designed to balance our pH level within. We use the basic elements of air (breath) and fire (agni – heat we create within our body from exercise) to balance the water in our body.
